Sex Toy Review: The Layaspot
The Layaspot Vibrator by Fun Factory is abso-fucking-lutely adorable. This goes without saying. I’ve actually been dying to get my hot little hands on one of these babies for over a year, and finally, I got one. Better yet, it matches the rest of my sex toys. I love black sex toys. And red sex toys. I love. And I love Fun Factory for making so many of their toys in a black option. Mmm. Black and silver are sex. Sorry, on a tangent.
Now, unlike a good majority of my toys, which are rechargeable, the Layaspot takes batteries. Two AAA batteries to be exact. I found the same problem I’ve had with most of my Fun Factory vibrating toys; the battery compartment sucks. It’s hard to open, harder to shut, and has a tendancy to pop off during use. Apparently, this vibe is “supposed” to be waterproof; however, given the number of times the battery covered popped off during my useage of the toy, I didn’t want to even think about attempting this for fear of waterlogging it.
Quality wise, it’s plastic and medical grade silicone…ie, it’s phthalate free (obviously, if I’m using it), and it can be sterilized (not by boiling or dishwashing…come on!) by wiping it down with a 10% bleach solution. Yay for body friendly toys. Also, it comes with “Body Fluid” which is Fun Factory’s lube. I just used Eros Aqua, cause that’s how I roll. Please don’t use silicone lube with this toy…it could go melty, and then no one is happy.
It was a few speeds (although no fancy roller coaster settings or anything like that) with easy to use up and down push buttons. I had a few problems hitting the wrong buttons or popping off the battery cover while I was…um…getting down to business, but it’s possible this was user error.
For two AAA batteries, it backs quite a kick. However, the kick just wasn’t enough for me. I tried teasing myself first, I tried using other toys, you name it. It just wasn’t enough to get me where I needed to go, which was quite frustrating to say the least. It did feel good, even on other body parts, like nipples, it just wasn’t enough power. I finally said fuck it, and went back to my tried and true.
I liked the Layaspot. I didn’t love it…I prefer toys that sound like an airplane taking off. However, unless you need weapons grade toys, I can definitely say that the Layaspot might be for you. It’s affordable, body-healthy, pretty fucking sexy, and well worth a try.

Unfortunately, Weapons Grade vibrator’s (aka the Hitachi) are the only devices that work for my wife/Mistress. Darn shame as it would be fun to experiment with more of these types of toys, I just so love seeing the look of pleasure on her face!
Fun Factory puts silicone lube in with the Layaspot cos it’s Elastomed, and not silicone. It does have pulsing speeds after it is turned all the way up, too! That being said, I hated my Layaspot when I first got it, but revisited it a few months later with surprising results. I like it more and more everytime I use it, and I’m a hitachi girl. It does say splashproof, but with the absence of an O ring, I would also vote No on that one.
It might be a good shape for guys who like vibrations on their balls and perinium, too.
Meg- I’m getting mixed responses from different companies about whether it is silicone or elastomed. Either way, mine does NOT have pulsing speeds. In fact, mine no longer works. I’m very unimpressed with the quality of this toy.

I’m pretty sure it’s elastomed. It’s kind of like silicone (?), and companies want to advertise it like that I guess.
With the cap popping off — mine used to do the same thing, but it turned out the cap wasn’t attached all the way. It screws in until it stops, but then you have to keep turning it until it kind of pops into place?
